Vessels, shipyards, and oil rigs can all be dangerous working environments—especially if the person responsible for the safety of the ship fails to maintain reasonable care of the deck. The deck of a vessel can be extremely slippery, as it is often susceptible to wetness from the ocean. Aside from a slip and fall accident on the deck due to slippery surfaces, many other types of accidents on a deck can occur, including injuries from a falling object.
If you or a loved one has been injured while working aboard a vessel, now is the time to seek counsel. Deck accident liability can be difficult to prove without the right legal counsel on your rights. When you choose to trust your case to Arnold & Itkin, you are choosing years of insight, billions of dollars in recoveries, and award-winning representation.
